Color Song (A Passion Blue Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
Giulia filled every moment with work, in the workshop when she was needed and at her easel when she was not. She had a painting to finish, and Bernardo to forget. With each new day she saw her foolishness more clearly. He’d never been her friend, for the boy he thought he knew was a figment. He could never have been her lover. All he’d been was a distraction and a threat—to her self-control, to her disguise, to her passion to paint. By allowing their companionship to continue, she had put at risk everything she’d come so far to gain. I should never have let it go on so long. I should have sent him away when he asked me to make his portrait. But if her intellect understood this, her heart did not. There was a hole in the world where he had been. On Sunday afternoons, she found herself listening for his knock at the door, for his footsteps in the storeroom. Only when she was painting could she forget him for a little while. It will change, she told herself. It’s only a matter of time.
